James Stev
enson Blues Band

\n

James plays guitar with ease and grace
in many genres from country\, gospel to jazz. He has been recognized for h
is capabilities by a wide variety of audience at many events over the year
s. Born into a musical family in Annapolis Royal in 1940\, he taught himse
lf to play guitar at the age of 13. “I started on a beat-up guitar and pl
ayed it until there was only one string was left\,” he said. “And then I p
layed on that string until there was nothing left.”

Gru discovers from his mother that he has a tw
in brother\, Dru\, whom he’s never met. Dru was given to his father to rai

“Debra Savoy comes from a long line of Spiritual Mediums. H
er love for helping heal people is enhanced by her abilities to see\, hear
and feel Spirit. She is a proud descendant of her Acadian/Scottish/Indige
nous heritage and is excited to have the opportunity to return to King’s T
heatre on Saturday\, August 26th at 7pm.

\n

Debra comes from generati
ons of healers and has a background in literature and management. After 16
years of owning her own bookstore and developing her gift as a Medium\, D
eb found herself in a position to either continue on with the family busin
ess or follow her inherited calling to become a Spiritual Healer and make
a difference in people’s lives.

\n

“Many people that suffer from emot
ional distress and anxiety without the knowledge or means to ease the pain
. Debra started this business to promote the knowledge of spiritual growth
\, health and wellbeing to those seeking out spiritual guidance.

\n

“
There are so many things in life that can weigh on us\, hold us back and k
eep us from living to our full potential. It is also very important to kno
w that there are ways to overcome these things that weigh so heavily on us
.

\n

“Debra travels doing large venues\, from coast to coast. She has
a private practice in the 1000 Islands and her home town of Ottawa and al
so has a Mentorship Program to help those see their true potential in the
healing world. She is also in the process of compiling her life experience
s with the Spirit world in her memoirs\, soon to be released.”

Set against the early days of the sport and stunning lands
cape of Scotland\, Tommy’s Honour is based on the intimate and powerfully
moving true story of the relationship between “Old” Tom Morris and “Young”
Tommy Morris\, the dynamic father-son team who ushered in the modern game
of golf.

\n

As their fame grew\, Tom and Tommy\, Scotland’s Golf Roy
alty\, were touched by drama and personal tragedy. At first matching his f
ather’s success\, Tommy’s talent and fame grew to outshine his father’s ac
complishments as founder of the Open Championship in 1860\, his stellar pl
aying record\, and his reputation as the local caddie master\, greenskeepe
r and club & ball maker. In contrast to his public persona\, Tommy’s inne
r turmoil ultimately led him to rebel against the aristocracy led by The R
oyal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews\, and the parents who shunned hi
s passionate relationship with his girlfriend-then-wife Meg Drinnen.

“Tommy’s Honour is a beautiful tribute to the game. I felt like we
were dropped out of a time machine and given the chance ‘to feel’ what go
lf was like over a century and an half ago. It’s a film that takes you int
o the soul of the game. Remarkably well done and enjoyable on every level!
”

\n

— Bill Macatee\, CBS Sports

\n

“An engrossing and accessibl
e celebration of the game’s modern origins\, enhanced by striking location
s and a standout cast\, led by Scottish actors Peter Mullan and Jack Lowde
n.”

w Joel Plaskett. Multiple JUNO Award winning songwriter. Multiple times on
the Polaris Music Prize Short List. Sold out clubs and concert halls from
one side of the country to the other.

\n

g the spotlight with his earliest musical influence- his father\, Bill.

\n

The album is a powerful collection of original and traditional songs

“What if facing the dark real

ALBATROSS is a powerful visual journey
into the heart of a gut-wrenching environmental tragedy. On one of the re
motest islands on Earth\, tens of thousands of albatross chicks lie dead o
n the ground\, their bodies filled with plastic. Returning to the island o
ver several years\, Chris and his filming team witnessed cycles of birth\,
life\, and death of these magnificent creatures as a multi-layered metaph
or for our times. ALBATROSS walks us through the fire of horror and grief\
, facing the immensity of this tragedy — and our own complicity — head on.
And in this process\, we find an unexpected route to a deeply felt experi
ence of beauty and love for the miracle of life on Earth. Stepping outside
the stylistic templates of traditional environmental or documentary films
\, ALBATROSS takes viewers on a lyrical guided tour into the depths of the
ir own spirits\, delivering a profound message of reverence and renewal th
at is already reaching an audience of millions of people around the world.

As Fogo Island
struggles to sustain its unique way of life in the face of a collapse of i

that will become a catalyst for social change.

“Captures a bold ar
chitecture project that embraces the excitement of living on the edge\, bo

“Slow down and breathe. This contemplative journey follows in th
e steps of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh and is a rare insight into life with
in a monastic community. The sun rises. Everything is calm and still. Life
is beautifully serene as Benedict Cumberbatch’s composed\, meditative voi
ce reads an extract from Thich Nhat Hanh’s early journals. So begins Max P
ugh and Marc J Francis’ (Black Gold\, LFF2006) fascinating and immersive e
xploration of what it means to devote one’s life to mindfulness. With unpr
ecedented access to the famous secluded monastery of Plum Village in the S
outh West of France\, Walk With Me captures the daily routine and rituals
of monks and nuns on a quest to develop a deep sense of presence. It is an
insightful rumination on the pursuit of happiness\, living in the present
and our attachment to material things – a welcome remedy to the stresses

GARDEN OF THE GODS: The Flora and Ecology of
Namaqualand

\n

Namaqualand is the semi-arid to arid region in the northwest corner
of South Africa\, comprising an area roughly the size of New Brunswick. Al
though Namaqualand has no defined political boundaries\, it falls primaril
y within the province of Northern Cape. What makes it so remarkable botani
cally and striking visually is that it is the home of approximately 4000 p
lant species\, most of which bloom within the same period of approximately
one to two months (late July through early September)\, following the spr
ing rains that normally begin in late April or May. (By comparison\, the g
reat spring floral displays of West Australia are comprised of far fewer s
pecies.) Although the spring rains can be very sporadic\, most years they
are sufficient to bring forth good to incredible floral displays\, which m
ay be apparent along the main north-south highway commencing around Vanrhy
sndorp and continuing north almost to the border with Namibia. However\, t
he greatest discoveries are invariably made by persons who go slowly\, wan
der along unpaved secondary routes and farm roads\, then get out of their
vehicles and walk in search of plant specimens in the highly varied\, ofte
n rocky landscape.

\n

Freeman
first travelled to Namaqualand in 1980 and returned in 2018 for his 40th e
xtended visit. For 25 years\, beginning in 1982 he conducted four annual w
ild-flower workshops at the Kamieskroon Hotel in the little village of the
same name. During this period he amassed what is unquestionably the world
’s largest collection of photographs of Namaqualand in bloom\, although th
e University of Stellenbosch has the largest picture collection of individ
ual species. Also\, through his educational efforts in conservation and pr
eservation\, he helped to initiate land purchases that eventually led to t
he creation of Namaqualand National Park\, which begins across the road fr
om the Kamieskroon Hotel and now extends 70km to the coast and outward fro
m there to include 100km. of the ocean floor.

\n

Beginning in 2007 an
d continuing to the present\, Freeman has led a two-week wilderness campin
g tour in March (autumn)\, the first week from a base camp on the Atlantic
coast in Namaqualand National Park\, the second week in the Richtersveld
National Park\, the spectacular mountain desert in the far north of Namaq
ualand along the Orange River\, the border with Namibia. Some years this t
rip also provides the opportunity to see and photograph varieties of March
lilies\, a few striking species that bloom in autumn\, but send forth lea
ves only after the spring rains.

\n

Namaqualand\, the small village o
f Kamieskroon\, and the little Kamieskroon Hotel have become Freeman’s sec
ond home. In this program he invites you to visit him there.

Rock ’n’ roll’s diverse\, electrifying roots dig deep into David My
les’ tenth album\, Real Love. You can hear them in the old-school Johnny C
ash shuffle and lightning-in-a-bottle twang of “Night And Day.” They pull
you by the hand and dance slowly to the swingy drums and ‘50s-era\, Roy Or
bison croon of “Easy.” With the rousing orchestral thrill of “Night After
Night\,” they sprawl out into simmering soul as Myles seethes at a lover w
ho’s been running around with another. Over Real Love’s 13 tracks\, writte
n as razor-sharp as Myles’ signature suits\, those roots grow into a spect
acular family tree of American musical tradition—with all its blood\, swea

On Saturday September 22\, King’s Theatre introduces
a new kind of program called “Special Feature Presentation”. These are sp
ecial\, limited release films that are being presented with reserve seatin
g options and “Wine & Popcorn” one hour before the show. First up is a “VA
N GOGH: Of Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies”.

\n

\n

V
an Gogh is a huge favourite amongst King’s Theatre audiences. This feature
is a new look at the Van Gogh legacy through the world’s largest private
collection\, that of Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939). In the early 20th
Century\, she bought nearly 300 of his works\, paintings and drawings.

\n

\nThe story unfolds with a woman who identified with Van G
ogh’s spiritual torment\, and came to buy priceless artistic treasures. Th
e collection is set in the naturalistic and architectural beauty of the va
st De Hoge Weluge park.It tells the parable of the painter’s life\, using passages
from his brother Theo’s letters to set the pace of the exhibition\, and it
shows images of the places he lived and stayed in\, from Paris to Provenc
e.

\n

\nThis collection and of the burning passion for art
that led to it offers an outstanding window into the life and art of Van
Gogh. ‘Amid wheat fields and clouded skies’ brings together 40 paintings a
nd 85 drawings from the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo\, Holland\, now h
ome to Helene’s heritage.

\n

\nThe feature tells us about
Van Gogh’s art and his genius\, and allows us to understand the importance
of drawing as part of his artistic technique. His seemingly instinctive c
anvases were the result of long\, preparatory studies\, not sketches but c
omplete works of art in themselves\, where the broken flow of lines that c
haracterizes the style of his paintings can already be found.

\n

\n

\n

Doors open at 6pm for Wine & Popcorn. Tickets can be purc
hased at the door or in advance by calling the box office at 902
-532-7704

happen if she put down her guitar and wrote with just her voice. She bega

oper layered songs\, ‘The River’.\n

Whisky Sommelier Leslee Fredri
cks of the NSLC will lead a sampling of some of the finest scotch
es you’ll find. She offers a short blurb on two of the single malts we wil
l be tasting:

\n

\n

\n

Tamdhu 10 YO – This
is a Speyside Malt that possesses more colour than you would expect from
a 10 year old single malt. (The age statement reflects the youngest whiske
y in the bottle\, so there may be some older whisky in the blend). The mal
t was aged 10 years exclusively in Sherry casks\, so expect some significa
nt fruit and woodiness. The nose is complex and the palate is wonderfully
sweet and smooth.

\n

Craigellachie 13 YO – Another
Speyside Malt\, Craigellachie is considered a traditionally made Single M
alt using traditional equipment\, producing a whisky that is a bit of a de
parture from a typical Speyside Malt. Craigellachie is viscous and complex
with explosive fruit and a hint of smoke. Very few single malt expression
s have been released by this distillery\, so get ready for a real treat.

It’s been many
years since Mary Poppins visited Jane and Michael Banks and worked as the
ir magical nanny. Now grown\, Michael (Ben Whishaw) is a widower with thre
e children: Annabel (Pixie Davies)\, John (Nathanael Saleh) and Georgie (J
oel Dawson). When the bank is about to repossess his childhood home after
he misses several payments\, his sister Jane (Emily Mortimer) helps him se
arch through their father’s papers for the shares they own in the bank.

\n

Meanwhile\, as the children head off across the park to buy some gro
ceries\, Georgie plays with a kite that his father threw out. It nearly pu
lls him into the air\, but he’s saved by a lamplighter named Jack (Lin-Man
uel Miranda). When the kite returns to the ground\, Mary Poppins (Emily Bl
unt) is holding onto it and announces she’s come to London to be the child

Late filmmaker and conservationist Rob Stewart’s last document
ary is a thrilling exposé on the illegal shark-fin industry and a rousing
call to save an imperiled animal from the edge of extinction.\n

\n

Sharkwater Extinction
is a work of galvanizing activism rendered with heart and soul\, and the f
inal film from Rob Stewart\, the award-winning Toronto documentarian\, pho
tographer\, and conservationist.

\n

Building on the research\, passio
n\, and sometimes daredevil first-person investigative work of 2006’s
Sharkwater\, Sharkwater Extinction updates and expands on th
e fight by Stewart and others to halt the hunting of sharks\, which are of
ten killed just for their fins. Since the release of Sharkwater a
nd the growing awareness it helped foster\, shark finning has been banned
in most of the world. Yet these magnificent creatures — one of the world’s
oldest and most important predators — are in more danger than ever\, due
to a thriving pirate industry\, legal loopholes\, and widespread corruptio
n. Over 100 million sharks (yes\, you read that right) are killed every ye
ar. The world’s shark population has decreased by 90 percent in the last 3
0 years. An entire species — and a cornerstone of our ecosystem — hangs in
the balance.

\n

Completed by the production team after Stewart died
while making the film in January of 2017\, Sharkwater Extinction
takes us to Costa Rica\, Cape Verde\, the Bahamas\, Panama\, and the US to
explore the myriad ways sharks continue to be placed in peril.

\n

Th
e film’s gorgeous imagery lures you in\, while its nerve-wracking scenes o
f Stewart risking his life to expose hunters keeps you riveted. But the be
auty of this film lies in Stewart’s enduring sense of wonder. He said he m
ade these films to make people fall in love with sharks\, and that he did.
Stewart will be greatly missed.

\nFrom DreamWorks Animation comes a surprising tale about growing up\, fin
ding the courage to face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to
let go. What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking
and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic adventure spanning th
eir lives. Welcome to the most astonishing chapter of
one of the most beloved animated franchises in film history: How to Train
Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Now chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astr
id\, Hiccup has created a gloriously chaotic dragon utopia. When the sudde
n appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the darkest threat their
village has ever faced\, Hiccup and Toothless must leave the only home the
y’ve known and journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth. As
their true destines are revealed\, dragon and rider will fight together—t

“Since releasi

and singing with dozens of choirs across Canada and beyond. It all started
in the fall of 2014 when I uploaded a video to YouTube singing a song I h
ad just written called “The River”. Within months\, choirs had started sin
ging this song and I hadn’t even stepped into the studio yet!

\nI knew that I wanted to visit and sing with as many of the
se choirs as possible.And so I have been\, and loving every minute of it:
To show up in each new town and be immediately embraced by a community of
people who sing together is an incredible thing. I have always lov
ed to sing for people\, but to sing with them is an even greater joy. I have found a new passion and my new calling. If I haven’t met you y

\n

“For me\, garden design isn’t just about plants\, it i
s about emotion\, atmosphere\, a sense of contemplation. You try to move p
eople with what you do. You look at this\, and it goes deeper than what yo
u see. It reminds you of something in the genes — nature\, or the longing
for nature.”\n– Piet Oudolf

After completing
a feature documentary on New York’s High Line\, award-winning filmmaker Th
omas Piper met the inspirational designer and plantsman\, Piet Oudolf\, an
d the idea for a new project was born. The documentary\, FIVE SEASONS: The
Gardens of Piet Oudolf\, immerses viewers in Oudolf’s work and takes us i
nside his creative process\, from his beautifully abstract sketches\, to t
heories on beauty\, to the ecological implications of his ideas.

\n

I
ntimate discussions take place through all fours seasons in Piet’s o
wn gardens at Hummelo\, and on visits to his signature public works in New
York\, Chicago\, and the Netherlands\, as well as to the far-flung locati
ons that inspire his genius\, including desert wildflowers in West Texas a
nd post-industrial forests in Pennsylvania.

\n

As a narrative thread\
, the film also follows Oudolf as he designs and installs a major new gard
en at Hauser & Wirth Somerset\, a gallery and arts center in Southwest Eng
land\, a garden he considers his best work yet.

\n

Piet Oudolf has ra
dically redefined what gardens can be. As Rick Darke\, the famous botanist
\, says to Piet in the film\, “your work teaches us to see what what we ha
ve been unable to see.” Through poetic cinematography and unique access\,
FIVE SEASONS will reveal all that Piet sees\, and celebrate all that we as
viewers have been unable to see.

A Hard Day’
s Night captures the biggest band in the world at the height of Beatl
emania. Directed by Ri
chard Lester and originally released in 1964\, the film follows the Beatles over a 36-hour peri
od that sees them traveling by train\, hiding out from fans in a hotel roo
m\, losing Paul McCart
ney‘s grandfather multiple times and\, finally\, arriving just in the
nick of time for their TV performance. It blends elements of documentary w
ith concert film\, in addition to plenty of just-for-fun scenes\, like the
band responding to fan mail\, chasing down Paul’s grandfather at a casino
and goofing off during rehearsals for their TV concert.

\n

\n

The undeniab
le heart of A Hard Day’s Night\, though\, is the music. Serving b
oth as a soundtrack and a means of propelling the plot forward\, almost al
l the hits from the titular album appear in the film. The title track play
s as the band run from a horde of fans in the opening scene\, while an imp
romptu performance of “I Should Have Known Better” provides a tender momen
t on the band’s train ride.

\n

Over time\, the film has revealed itse
lf to be rather like the enigmatic opening chord to “A Hard Day’s Night” i
tself — it’s tough to pin it down exactly\, but the second you hear it\, y
ou’re flooded with nostalgia\, intrigue and pure joy.

Let’s do the Time Warp Again\n

\n

Campy\, b
rilliant and utterly bonkers\, it’s no wonder this is a cult classic and a
much loved favourite. The only way to watch this is to sing along as enth
usiastically and loudly as possible and if you don’t wake up the neighbour
s and had a knock at the door from the police\, you’ve failed.

\n

It’
s quite hard to describe the plot past “Brad and Janet’s car breaks down a
nd they find themselves in a house” because that’s when all hell breaks lo
ose. Singing\, dancing\, Meat Loaf and a man in very tight golden underwea
r is just a small part of the madness and it’s very\, very fun.

Marilyn Lawson (1942-2018) was
a great friend of the Theatre who died a year ago. Many will remember whe

The Film: The Danish/French <
strong>Babette’s Feast is based on a story
by Isak Dinesen\, also the source of the very different Out of Africa (198
5). Stephane Audran plays Babette\, a 19th century Parisian political refu
gee who seeks shelter in a rough Danish coastal town. Philippa (Bodil Kjer
) and Martina (Birgitte Federspiel)\, the elderly daughters of the town’s
long-dead minister\, take Babette in. As revealed in flashback\, Philippa
and Martina were once beautiful young women (played by Hanne Stensgaard an
d Vibeke Hastrup)\, who’d forsaken their chances at romance and fame\, tak
ing hollow refuge in religion. Babette holds a secret that may very well a
llow the older ladies to have a second chance at life. This is one of the
great movies about food\, but there are way too many surprises in Babette’
s Feast to allow us to reveal anything else at this point (except that Ing
mar Bergman “regulars” Bibi Andersson and Jarl Kulle have significant came
o roles).. ~ Hal Erickson\, Rovi

Winter 1968:
Showbiz legend Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) arrives in Swinging London t
o perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since
she shot to global stardom in THE WIZARD OF OZ\, but if her voice has weak
ened\, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show
\, battles with management\, charms musicians\, and reminisces with friend
s and adoring fans\, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of
romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans (Fin
n Wittrock)\, her soon-to-be fifth husban. And yet Judy is fragile. After
working for 45 of her 47 years\, she is exhausted\; haunted by memories of
a childhood lost to Hollywood\; gripped by a desire to be back home with
her kids. Will she have the strength to go on? Featuring some of her best-
known songs\, including the timeless classic ‘Over the Rainbow’\, JUDY cel
ebrates the voice\, the capacity for love and the sheer pizzazz of “the wo
rld’s greatest entertainer”.

“Renée Zellweger is phe
nomenally good in this captivating account of Judy Garland’s final London
concert run” – The Guardian

Shot on 35mm black-and-white film\, this psychological thriller fr
om Robert Eggers (The Witch) follows the slow descent into madnes
s of two lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) on a remot
e New England island at the turn of the 19th century.

\n

\n

After having spooked audiences into a delicious
frenzy with his much-lauded feature debut The Witch (TIFF ’15)\,
director Robert Eggers returns to the Festival with this chillingly intima
te tale of two men sequestered on a tiny — and perhaps enchanted — Atlanti
c isle.

\n

Charged with tending to a lighthouse for a four-week term\
, the taciturn Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson) spends his days toiling
away with backbreaking upkeep\, while during the nights it is only his eld
er cohort Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe\, also at the Festival in Motherle
ss Brooklyn) who is allowed to keep the beacon in operation. Growing
weary of menial tasks\, Ephraim’s curiosity regarding Thomas’ hours alone
with the big light burgeons. But is it just fatigue and envy that cause Ep
hraim to become increasingly paranoid about the loitering seagulls\, to th
e point where he’s visited by strange apparitions?

\n

Set in the 19th
century and photographed by Jarin Blaschke in starkly beautiful black and
white\, The Lighthouse harkens back to the literature of Melvill
e while accruing a hallucinatory ambiance that feels entirely fresh. The f
ilm’s crude humour\, hypnotic sounds\, and spectral imagery lure us in\, b
ut it’s Pattinson and Dafoe holding our attention\, even as the men begin
to slide off the deep end with truly unhinged performances that feature Pa
ttinson\, spellbinding with his bushy beard\, piercing eyes\, and salty ac
cent\, and Dafoe\, captivating as he goads his young mate to reveal his sh
adowy past. As The Lighthouse — winner of a FIPRESCI award at Can
nes — veers into ever-darker waters\, this brilliant pair enters a dangero
us dance that will leave you staggering out of the cinema on sea legs.– Michael Lerman\n

Black Panther
is a gorgeous\, groundbreaking celebration of black culture

\n\n

Marvel’s Black Panther is a cultural phenomen
on\, a historic box office success that’s brought in rave reviews and spar
ked conversation all over social media and traditional media alike. There
are no signs of the excitement abating\, either\, as the conversation abou
t the film has evolved from discussions about the importance of representa
tion into something grander: a rather groundbreaking celebration of black
culture.

\n

With an all-star collection of majority black
talent both in front of and behind the camera\, Black Panther\,
under the direction of Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station\, Cree
d)\, is about more than the latest superhero’s journey\; it’s also ab
out black culture’s journey\, and it points toward a future where it could
be the culture. It acknowledges and celebrates everything from t
raditional African society to African-American political debates\, from th
e power and beauty of black women to the preservation of identity\, all wi
thin the lush confines of the fictional African nation of Wakanda.

\n

All told\, Black Panther’s greatest legacy may not b
e what it’s done for Marvel\, Hollywood\, or box office records\, but what
it’s done for the culture. In Wakanda\, which offers much to marvel at fo
r audiences of all backgrounds\, black viewers in particular have found a
cultural oasis that feels like nothing we’ve seen before. — Vox

HONEYLAND is the first film to be nominated for an Academy Award fo
r Best Documentary AND Best International Feature

\n

When
a nomadic family move in and break Honeyland’s basic rule\, the last fema
le wild beekeeper in Europe must save the bees and restore natural balance
.

\n

Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within
the Balkans\, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village
without roads\, electricity or running water. She’s the last in a long lin
e of Macedonian wild beekeepers\, eking out a living farming honey in smal
l batches to be sold in the closest city – a mere four hours’ walk away. H
atidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an i
tinerant family\, with their roaring engines\, seven rambunctious children
and herd of cattle. Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change wi
th an open heart\, offering up her affections\, her brandy and her tried-a
nd-true beekeeping advice.

\n

It doesn’t take long however\, before H
ussein\, the itinerant family’s patriarch\, senses opportunity and develop
s an interest in selling his own honey. Hussein has seven young mouths to
feed and nowhere to graze his cattle\, and he soon casts Hatidze’s advice
aside in his hunt for profit. This causes a breach in the natural order th
at provokes a conflict with Hatidze that exposes the fundamental tension b
etween nature and humanity\, harmony and discord\, exploitation and sustai
nability. Even as the family provides a much-needed respite from Hatidze’s
isolation and loneliness\, her very means of survival are threatened.

\n

The debut feature from documentarians Ljubo Stefanov and Tamara Kotev
ska HONEYLAND was shot over three years by a skeleton crew committed to an
intimate collaboration between filmmakers and subject. HONEYLAND is made
with the widescreen sweep of an epic\, visually ambitious and driven by an
unexpectedly dramatic narrative and a surprising sense of humor. It’s a t
ough and tender portrait of the delicate balance between humankind and nat
ure\, a glimpse at a fast disappearing way of life\, and an unforgettable
testament to one extraordinary woman’s resilience.
